Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D be the event of selecting a marble with dots.

Let P be the event of selecting a purple marble.

The probability of selecting a marble with dots, P(D)=0.2

The probability of selecting a marble that is both purple and has dots, P(D \cap P)=0.1

We want to determine the probability of selecting a purple marble given that the marble has dots on it, P(P|D)

By the definition of conditional probability:

P(P|D)= \dfrac{P(P \cap D)}{P(D)} \\= \dfrac{0.1}{0.2}\\ =0.5

The probability of selecting a purple marble given that the marble has dots on it is 0.5.

Triangle ABC is shown below. Triangle A B C is shown. The length of side A B is 2 x, the length of side B C is 4 x minus 10, and
Sedbober [7]

Answer:the length of line segment AC is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is shown in the attached photo

Since Angle A B C and B C A are congruent. It means that they are equal. An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two equal sides and two equal base angles. Since Angle A B C and B C A are equal, it means that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. It also means that sides AC and AB are equal. The expression becomes

3x - 7 = 2x

3x - 2x = 7

x =7

To determine the length of line segment AC. We will substitute x = 7 into 3x - 7. It becomes

3×7 - 7 = 21 - 7 = 14

A recipe will make 10 pancakes that are 8 inches in diameter. If you decide to
pashok25 [27]
10 pancakes produces 8 inches in diameter. 
The area of 1 pancake is 
Area = pi * r^2
Area = pi * 4^2
Area = 50.27 in^2
Then multiply it by 10
Total area = 502.65 in^2

A smaller pancake
Area = pi * r^2
Area = pi * 2^2
<span>Area = 12.56 in^2

Divide 502.65 by 12.56
= 502.65 / 12.65
= 39.74

So there are 39 pancakes.

An isosceles triangle with equal sides of 5 inches and a base of 6 inches is inscribed in a circle. What is the radius, in inche
nikklg [1K]
Wow this is a doozy! First you have to figure out what is it you are looking for? If you make a dot in the center of the triangle (which is also the center of the circle) and draw a line from the center to one of the vertices of the triangle you have the radius of the triangle and also of the circle. If you draw all 3 radii from the triangle's center to its vertices, you see you have created 3 triangles within that one triangle.  The trick here is to figure out what your triangle measures are as far as angles go.  If we take the interior measures of those 3 triangles, we get that each one has a measure of 120 (360/3=120). So that's one of your angles, the one across from the side measuring 6. Because of the Isosceles Triangle theorem, we know that the 2 base angles have the same measure because the sides are the same. Subtracting 120 from 180 gives you 60 which, divided in half, makes each of those remaining angles measure 30 degrees. So if we extract that one triangle from the big one, we have a triangle with angles that measure 30-30-120, with the base measuring 6 and each of the other sides measuring 5. If we then split that triangle into 2 right triangles, we have one right triangle with measures 30-60-90. Dropping that altitude to create 2 right triangles not only split the 120 degree angle at the top in half, it also split the base side of 6 in half. So our right triangle has a base of 3 and we are looking for the hypotenuse of that right triangle.  WE have to use right triangle trig for that. Since we have the top angle of 60 and the base of 3, we can use sin60=3/x.  Solving for x we have x=3/sin60 which gives us an x value of 3.5 inches rounded from 3.464. I'm not sure what you mean by a mixed number unless you mean a decimal, but that's the radius of that circle.
